Well the worst has finally happened. The kind of thing that you think happens to others, but never to you. The kind of thing that makes a person question "why bad things happen to good people". That's right, the sighting of my very first (choke) gray hair.
This event comes on the heels of my 26th birthday. The one that catapults me into old age. Bye bye youth. I can no longer use the excuse "I was young and dumb". I can no longer brag about being in my early twenties. People will now expect me to have my whole life figured out, I'll even have to start acting all mature and stuff!
First it was the glasses, and now gray hair. Next gravity will take it's toll on certain unmentionable body parts. Hell I even got a letter from AARP, I guess I better go prepare my bucket list! I'm not so worried about visiting Egypt, backpacking through Spain or skydiving, I prefer to get my affairs in order. I need to:
• Trick some rich man into marrying me so I can become the housewife I’ve always aspired to be
• Learn to cook and clean to lure in said man
• Be nicer to my friends so they’ll take me in if I scare future rich husband off
• Freeze a couple of eggs just in case previous tasks take longer than expected
• Schedule consultation with plastic surgeon
• Rethink Botox
I know it may be weird that I got all this just from one stupid gray hair, but the truth is I'm terrified of aging. Life is so short and there never seems to be enough time to do all the things you thought you'd do when you "grew up". Any other quarter/mid life crises out there? Ever have plans for your life that just didn't happen? Please share, I'm a petty person and misery loves company!
I'll share my love! We are only 25. We are only a quarter of a century old and much of our life has not been lived yet! So take that beautiful gray hair in with pride (because I can promise there are many more to come) and get your ass out there and love and live LIFE!! Love you and hope you have a FABULOUS weekend!!
